I was wondering, too. We got Angel (Fike's Diplomat Spirit) this past summer...if anything, he was a bit underweight. But the crest of his neck still flopped over. I thought it was because his mane was so heavy, since I was new to minis. But someone else said his neck needed to be sweated?

I don't know enough to say anything more than I love your stallion, don't like your Mom's. But I have no expertise what so ever! I am following this thread with interest, though. I am wondering how you sweat a neck? I know neck sweats exist, but that's all. We got out first mini this summer, and...

Hey, Taylor Jo! That's so exciting! Can't wait to see pics, either. I've been Soooo busy, but wanted to pop in tonight and say "hi!" Amy

I wonder, too...I have a 7 yr old gelding. He has his temporary registration, but no one ever sent in his permanent one.

I love to look at driving pictures. Yours are wonderful! -Mayville

One of our big horses is like that...camera comes up, ears go down. Every time. He's such a good horse, and he looks like a sour puss on film! Cute mini, love him! -Mayville

My husband is definitely not horsey. He tolerates the horses-we've had them over a year now-with fairly good humor. I sometimes offer the price of something-especially if I got a great deal and can say, "it was worth $$$ but I got it for $" but otherwise he does not ask. Bless him for that...

Oh, cute! They look rambunctious! Are you happy with your grazing muzzles? What brand and where did you get them?

You all have some great ideas! Angel is soooo naughty, he rears up and everything.

This reminds me, I still need to get a bit...maybe I'll ask for one for Christmas!

Very cute! However I STRONGLY recommend you get your daughter a helmet. No matter how gentle (or small) the horse, accidents can and do happen. UWHarrie, Thanks for the reminder! You know, she has a little Troxel I bought her, and honestly I totally forgot to put it on her! When we ride the...

Super gorgeous! Wow!

Thanks! Abbey Rose is so proud of her little horse. He's really a character. He's our first mini, we hope to have him for a very long time. -Mayville

Well, we saddled him up...he didn't think anything of it. I worked him some, and he was fine the whole time, so I let Abbey sit on him. Her sister walked alongside, and we led her around for maybe 5 minutes. Angel (Fikes Diplomat Spirit) is 7, and we don't know a lot of his history. Seems like...

These are wonderful! Nice job! -Mayville
